The Aging Waiver Program offers eligible participants an alternative to institutional care. For those eligible clients/consumers, who have been assessed with a nursing home level of care and determined financially in need by the DPW/CAO, case management staff develops an individual service plan and arranges for a variety of in-home services to insure the participants can safely remain in a community setting. Benefit counseling is made available to those consumers that may experience difficulty in pursuing financial eligibility for medical assistance to qualify for this program.
